If The Walking Dead Were Made in the 80s

January 31, 2012 by noemi

What if the zombie TV series “The Walking Dead” were made in the 80s? Would it have turned out to be better, or would it have become even worse?

There is no doubt just how big the TV series made it, but we also cannot deny the fact that it has its fair share of dragging moments. Heck, okay, it has more than its fair share of dragging moments. Even the first season dragged on for a while there. After season 2.5, I guess practically everyone will agree with me. Of course, there are the scenes will which forever make one think that the series is still worth watching. Think of the last episode of season 2.5. That was intense.

But what if “The Walking Dead” were made during another era? Say, the 80s? How would that have turned out? [Read more…] about If The Walking Dead Were Made in the 80s

I am not too big on furniture, but now and then, I come across a piece of furniture that I just can’t get out of your mind. After all, for all of us who work from a home office (though I don’t really think where I work can be called even that!), making sure that the working place is as comfortable as possible is of prime importance. I don’t think that it is a secret that I prefer working on the couch or on the bed, but sometimes, it really boosts productivity when you work from a desk. [Read more…]

When was the last time you used a cheat sheet? I still remember the days in university when professors allowed cheat sheets during exams. We were ecstatic, only to realize that the problems in the exam were practically unsolvable if you only relied on the cheat sheet.

When it comes to the “real world” of business, there is also such a thing as a cheat sheet. With all the different developments in business and technology, it is only to be expected. The guys at Flowtown have come up with an infographic that can serve as a quick guide for small business owners when it comes to social media.

The World’s Largest Scrabble Game

Does size matter?

I suppose that in some cases, size is a major factor. Although we cannot discount the fact that a lot of pleasure can also be derived from tiny things. It really all depends on the situation!

In the case of the game Scrabble, I am not quite sure how size comes into play. Then again, that’s just me. This guy, John Kahn, apparently goes by the maxim “the bigger, the better”. One look at his creation – the world’s largest Scrabble game – and anyone will come to the same conclusion. [Read more…] about The World’s Largest Scrabble Game

SOPA has been the talk of the town in the recent weeks, although the noise has died down a bit when the legislation was shot down. But are you aware of another piece of legislation that may affect you in an adverse way?

Centers of Tech Innovation — Silicon Valleys of the World

What is the biggest dream of every person who works in the technology field? I would go out on a limb and say that to live and work in Silicon Valley is one of the top answers. There is the fact that the opportunities to work there are rather rare for a lot of people. That doesn’t mean you have to give up on your dreams! Did you know that there are Silicon Valleys in other parts of the world?

I suppose there is some truth in the argument that there is nothing quite like THE Silicon Valley, but the world has gotten smaller and smaller over the years, and centers of tech innovation are cropping up all over the planet. This spells good news for you, if you are looking to make a splash in the scene. [Read more…] about The Silicon Valleys of the World [Infographic]
